Go to the first auction and buy the
property. You cannot be much
cheated in that because you will
haye to give very little more than
somebody else is willing to pay for it.
Give your notes for it, save your
money, collect your fees, pay your
notes as they become due. See that
the property is improved property
so that the rent will keep down your
interest account, and when you get
any other money, invest in the same
way, and if your notes press upon
you faster than you can pay them,
why we will, when we find that is
what you are doing with your money,
discount your notes and give you a
little more time on them, so that you
can pay it up. This will necessitate
the prompt collection OF your bills,fo-
| know you would rather work and
earn one hundred dollars than dun
man for it, unless you have pressing
need for it. Yon have not even

A TEST FOR PowpER.--A safe in an
indianapolis business house was bored
into by burglars, but it is supposed
that the thieves were frightened away
before it could be exploded On
"Wednesday Charles Gorsuch was
called to repair the safe, and when
taken apart the powder and parts of
the locks and bolts fell upon the floor.
As Gorsuch was bending over the
debris a stranger walked up and de.
hberately stuck the end of lighted
cigar into the powder, An explosion
followed, and Gorsuch was hurled
several feet away through door,
knocking him insensble. His face
was terribly burned, and his eyes
both injured. lie is in acritical con
dition and may die. No explanation
was offered by the stranger except
that she had no idea it was powder"

An old rancher gave his son the
number Of bushels OF wheat in his
granary and Che price per bushel and
told him to ask his teachers what il
was worth. When the boy returned
from school he first asked what did
Miss say? "She said" replied the
boy, sit is worth $3.50" And what
did Mr.. --- say? "He said it was
worts $3.50 too" "Then, my Lord, :"
said the old man, ~ don't see the use
of paying male teachers more than
tho females if they cannot make
little wheat come to more than they
can; for my part, as long as they make
figures run together that way, I'm in

How 10 Get Riches.

iect Of amassing fortune. Mr.. 7. T.

auisites in the race for dollars. Cen
eral Buffers advice. epitomlzca, is:
"Be diligent and prudent, and invest
in improved real estate. Dir. H. II,
Faxon, the temperance leader, advises
total abstinence and strict attention TO
business. Erastus Wiman, the Now
York millionaire, thinks too many
young men 20 into the professions.

ployment Of others. He deprecates
speculation, and favors honest, hard

There is some one hundred aud sixty

the body, for without healthy body
there can be no healthy mind. In
looking over the splendid home of
those unfortunates, erected by the lib
erality and generosity of the people of
Grant county, to whom all praise and
honor is due FOR broad charity and lib
erality, a sense of pride and grateful
ness possessed your committee, which
at this time and on this occasion seemed
proper and meet 10 mention.
Your committee wonld say that,
were it not for the seeming opposition
which was manifest in the members
of this board at the time of the erection
of our asylum, we would not to-day
have this splendid home and the
economical method of caring for our
insane. But the time has come now
when we can all agree that it is neces-
sary for us to provide permanent
home for that class, which can only be
accomplished by the purchase of suffi-
cient farm land to keep them usefully
and prohtably employed. We have
the farm, house and barns for the ac-
commodatiou of the laborers; now let
us provide the addition to the farm for
profitable work Mr.. Showalter has
teams and hands to successfully farm
five hundred acres. but has not hall
that amount of land. There is some
lsnd on the north and east adjoining
the present farm which can be pur-
chased but not rented We would
recommend the levying of tax of five
thousand dollars upon the taxable
property of Grant county for the pur-
pose of purchasing an addition to
the present farm and that the trustees
of the asylum be authorized to make
the best arrangement they can in get
ting any addition to said farm.
All OF which is respectfully submitted.

Kirby House Blown Up.

A shocking accident occurred at the
Kirby House 10 Milwaukee shortly be-
fore Q o'clock Monday morning. A
large boiler used for heating water,
and placed close to the kitchen range.
explsdcd. causing the death outright Of
one of tue cooks, and severely wound
ing number of other employees. The
release of the boiling water sent out
great clouds of steam, aud as soon az
this had cleared away great, ragged
rent was seen in the rear walls of the
hotel abutting on the alley Here the
screams of women mingled with the
sounds OF breaking glass and falling
bricks, attracted the presence Of u
ihrong of people. The portion of the
wall blown out was thirty feet in
width, aud extended from the base
ment to the fourth floor. One end of
tue dining room was also totally
wrecked, the furniture being demol-
ished aud toe dishes smashed. AT the
time of the explosion breakfast was
almost over, but panic regnod among
those who were yet at the table.
though none of tho guests were in
jured The kitchen was completely
wrecked and the dozen girls who
were present at the time were all
buried beneath the mass of falling
brick and moatar. The exposion oc-
cured in that portion Of the kichen
range known as the water back, which
was twenty inches long and foot
square, and connected with an upright
tank, which was blown through four
floors and landed on the roof above.
Water passed through this from the
supply pipeand was heated. passing back
through another pipe TO the boiler
The supply pipe was frozen and plum
bcrs had been working at it all the
morning, trying to tnaw it out. 1t is
supposed that the water got so low in
this water-baek that it turned into
steam so rapidly that an explosion fol-
lowed aud everything was torn to
pieces.
I Frank Hempel, the chief cook. was
blown out Of the window, falling into
the alley amid a heap Of rubbish, and
/ had one arm broken.
When the explosion occurred, Mr..
Beckwith, one Of the proprietors Of the
hotel, was standing in the alley, and
was completely covered with bricks and
falling debris, 50 that all that could be seen
of him when the steam and dust cleared
away was one hand sticking up in the
air. Willing hands soon uncovered him,
and lie was able to walk to his room.
! where he insisted the first doctors who
came should he sent into the room where
the wounded girls were being cared for.
Across the alley. directly opposite the
place where the force of the explosion
was greatest, is the Sentinel book
bindery. The alley is only about fifteen
feet wide, and the flying bricks and de-
bris crashed through the windows at the
bindery. There were nine young wo-
men employed there that morning, sew
eral OF whom were injured more or less,
Nellie Thompson was cut very badly,
and her condition is critical. A lamp

Internal Uses of Water as Dfcdi-
cine.


Ordinary drinking water, if taken
in large quantities, acts as a solvent
and a diuretic, and also increases the
perspiration if the temperature Of tie
air be high. Taken in the quantity Of
one or two quarts at time, the diluent
effect of water is often sufficient to
eliminate an access of alcohol from
the blood, as after taking too much
wine. Anotaor effect of large draughts
of water is 70 make the pulse slower,
and to diminish slightly the normal
temperature Di the body.
Increase Of weight has been claimed
as result OF systematic water-drink-
ing on retiring for the night. The
latest researches do not bear out this
conclusion. Water thus taken will
prevent any actual loss of weight, but
| it is not shown that il will do anything
more. With the addition of a moder-
ate Stimulant, however, it has often
decidedly fattening effect.
Swallowed as hot as il can be borne.
pure water has lately come into some
vogue as an efficient remedy for dys-
peptic and rheumatic ailments, and
for reducing the obesity consequent
upon idle habits and overeating. II
is not yet shown that these effects are
caused by the hot water. | have seen
cases in which this treatment, con-
Joined with diet almost exclusively
composed of lean meat and stale
bread, has been followed by a great
reduction Of the invalid's weight; but
this result seemed to me due to the
withholding of superabundant food
from the patient, and not to any posi-
tive virtue in the hot water itself. In
dyspepsia the hot-water treatment
sometimes succeeds for the same rea-
son. Nature, if given chance, has a
good deal to say in the cure of the all
ments that result from the misuse of
the digestive organs. But this treat
ment has the double advantage of Civ
ing the disturbed stomach compare
tive rest, and of gently stimulating it
to the digestive duties that it cannot
wholly forego, unless the patient is to
be sustained by faith alone. OF the
internal use Of mineral waters this is
not the occasion to speak. TITUS Nun

Everett w. Case, of Baraboo, broth
er of Mrs. r. NJ. La Follett, died at
Madison last Saturday morning. Fri
day evening he arrived in Madison to
visit his sister, but it being late he went
to Drives hotel near the Northwestern
depot, to remain until morning. Before
retiring, he left orders in the Office to be
called at 6 o'clock. Mr.. Drives, proprie-
tor of the hotel, called him at that hour
and Case responded in a natural man
ner; but at o'clock, as he had not yet
made his appearance, Mr.. Drives again
called him. This time there was no re-
spouse and a glance over the transocl re-
vealed Case lying motionless IN bed,
with the pallor of death on his face.
The police and medical assistance were
Immediately summoned. A young son
of MIR. Drives was lifted through the
transom and unlocked the chamber door
from the inside When the doctor ex-
amined Case, he immediately pro-
nounced him dead. A bottle partly
filled with laudanum was found in the
room, and the most plausible theory as
to the cause of death is, that Case--who,
it is understood, was given to the use Of
the drug to overcome insomnia with
which he was greatly troubled-by ac,
cident took an overdose. Case was
born and reared near Baraboo, his faith
